Re: SG2 questions, mostly shooting from vehicles

In the demos I've seen, long-rod penetrators don't make much of a fuss
when they hit the ground. Nowhere near as much as a 120mm HE shell,
anyway :-/
-------------------------

In a demo I saw of a hyper-velocity Kinetic penetrator, the weapon
managed 
to go ping-ping through the turret of an old M-48 leaving a nice clean
hole 
on one side and a somewhat larger hole on the other side.  I was told
the 
shockwave that went through the tank was enough to kill the crew and do 
other nasty stuff.

If high velocity rounds act like most rifled rounds then typically what 
happens is they will enter the ground and deflect downwards.  Great if
you 
are up against the Mole Men of Mars.  ;-)
